| 5.7°C Belfast
Jermain Jackman was voted the winner of BBC's The Voice tonight, landing a major record deal as his prize and becoming the first male winner of the show.
The 19-year-old won the public vote during the live final after well-received performances of Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus and Pure Imagination from the 1971 Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory film, which he performed with will.i.am.
The Labour Party youth coordinator for Hackney said on Twitter immediately after winning: "Work hard for your dream & you can achieve it. So humbled & blessed to of shared stage with all the artists this year. Thank you all."
He beat Sally Barker, 54, Christina Marie, 20, and Jamie Johnson, 19, to win the third year of the talent show.
The teenage politician from London said he wanted to be ''the first singing black prime minister'' during the final and Labour leader Ed Miliband was quick to congratulate Jermain in a message on Twitter within minutes of the result being announced.
Mr Miliband said: "Huge congratulations to @JermainJackman. Knew you were an incredibly special singer from the first time I heard you."
Jermain, whose mentor was will.i.am, said after winning: "I want to thank Will for everything. He's the best coach ever and I want to thank God for the opportunity."
The teenager also thanked his friends and family.
He added: "This is not just an achievement for me, this is an achievement for every single person around the world, especially in the UK, who has had a dream, worked hard for that dream and achieved that dream."
His mentor said after the winner was revealed: "I hope you know this victory is more than just you singing. This is direction and guidance for the rest of your life."
During the two-hour programme, Jamie, from Gillingham, was voted out half way. The Kent teenager gave up work to try to forge a career in music and says he was inspired to try for The Voice after two students at his college appeared on it.
Sally, from Leicester, and Christina Marie, from Bristol, were runners-up despite bookmakers tipping Christina Marie to win by odds of 6-5 and Sally to come second.
The winner concluded the show with a performance of Jennifer Hudson's And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going, which he had sung earlier in the show and series.
There were celebrity performances as well with Paloma Faith singing Can't Rely On You and Aloe Blacc performing The Man.
Shadow chancellor Ed Balls also offered his congratulations to the teenager on Twitter: "Huge congratulations to @JermainJackman - first heard him sing live 5 years ago at the Hackney Empire - what a star!"
The show kicked off with a performance by all four judges, will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones, Kylie Minogue and Ricky Wilson, who sang Primal Scream's Rocks together. This was then followed by solo performances by the finalists which wowed audiences on Twitter and in the studio.
Christina Marie opened with Coldplay's Fix You and Sally sang Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now. She was followed by Jermain's performance of Wrecking Ball and Jamie performed Missing You by John Waite.
Soon after voting lines opened, each contestant sang with their judge, and phone lines were frozen before Jamie's departure was announced.
But the show has not been without controversy over the last three years. Tonight's winning coach will.i.am lost out on the crown last year when his act Leah McFall from Belfast was beaten by fellow Northern Irish singer Andrea Begley.
Partially sighted Andrea, from Co Tyrone, who has just 10% vision, went on to defend Will's comments after he branded the final result of the show "so sad'' and "unexplainable'' - adding that he was "perplexed'' by the public vote.
Not long after Andrea was announced as the winner, the Twitter-loving coach tweeted: "You should feel the audiences vibration in the room tonight after the publics vote...its #unexplainable...so sad...#perplexed.''
He quickly followed it with a second tweet: ''Andrea is amazing...#dontGETmeWRONG...but we know who has the incredible #voice.''
Commenting on his controversial tweets, Andrea, who was on former coach Danny O'Donoghue's team, said: "I had a good chat with Will afterwards. Every coach is 110% behind their act and Will was definitely very much from the get-go behind Leah, and I'm not surprised that he said that.
"He actually said to me that had I been on his team he'd have the same level of support for me. It's his act. He wants to support them all the way, and I have no doubt beyond the show Leah will do exceptionally well. She will be very successful."
Will said last year's series of the talent show would be "pointless'' unless it produced a real star.
The winner of the first series, Leanne Mitchell, flopped. Her debut single did not even reach the top 40.
Leah, Will's act from last year's series, made an appearance this year to help her old mentor as the show entered the battle-round stage.
Less than half an hour into the show, Will's watch phone rang and live on air, Cheryl Cole wished Jermain luck and after the show concluded, the singer tweeted: "YESsss Jermain!!! Congrats @iamwill love ya #Dopesh*t p.s call me".
The show's future was confirmed by the BBC a week ago after it was renewed for two more series and during the live final, there were adverts calling for the public to audition.
But Kylie, who is said to have brought in a lot of success for the show, is undecided about her possible return. I n an interview for Friday's Graham Norton Show on BBC1, she said: "I don't know as of yet because I'm going on tour later in the year. But all I can say is that I enjoyed the experience and it's not over yet."

Hi guys..
I wonder if one of your fine gents could assist.
I have a work server (SBS 2011 / Exchange 2010 etc).
I have a fairly simple Netgear router for broadband and a switch for desktop connections.
My server has two NICs, though one is disabled.
I was wondering if this was possible :-
A friends business (in the same building) wants a server, but there's only two of them requiring it (data storage etc).. Could I virtualise a Windows Server install on my server for him to utilise? Licensing queries aside for a second.
I believe he has his own broadband patched in.
Would SBS allow me to use my 2nd NIC for his virtual server? My server has plenty of headroom I believe..
I guess i'd like :-
<Virtualised Server OS> (within my server) So I can then mess about with where he is patched in to the building.. --> 2x Desktop PC (physical units)
So he can have a couple of domain users and take some of the risk of effectively no backups.. He's not looking to use Exchange or anything, but his data is all over the place and not secure.
Does that sound feasible? or am I missing something obvious?
Cheers! :)

Mixed Greens with Orange, Olive and Fig Dressing
Winter salads can seem quite dull given the lack of spring and summer fruits and vegetables. But you can also look at a winter salad as a reason to feature the season's best citrus fruits.
The citrus in this salad comes from fresh oranges, which appear in a sweet and tangy dressing and also in segments which garnish the dressed greens. The base for the dressing is fig preserves, which you can find in most supermarkets. The combination of the sweet preserves, red wine vinegar, orange juice and zest and salty kalamata olives makes this a vinaigrette you'll want to make again and again.
Makes 6 servings.

Killer legal highs for your early funeral
Posted August 31, 2010on:
Legal highs or Legal intoxicants are intoxicating drugs which are not prohibited by the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and which people who are seeking intoxication use. This is merely the definition of these killer stimulants which are legal available across the world spreading like wild fire over the internet.
Until now they were used read "misused or abused" by thousands of stimulant seekers and high snorters, ignorant people who are looking for herbal / legal supplements to get the artificial highs, weight reduction and other feelings of pseudo hallucination. Its a irony that despite of stringent drug control measures in almost all countries, these drugs are rampantly available to people at drug stores, head shops,shops selling smoking paraphernalia and alternative stuffs.
I don't simply understand why government allows such vendors to establish and sell these herbal /legal highs over the counter, I guess the law enforcements agencies are also on a "high" forgetting their primary focus of eradicating such wreck stuff from the society. Here is the latest story I read in daily mail UK:
The bride killed by bath salts – the new 'legal high' Ivory Wave drug that's sweeping Britain
Barely a year ago, Sarah Forsyth walked down the aisle in an ivory wedding dress.
'She was beautiful and so happy then,' says her mother Margaret Moyle, slowly turning the pages of the wedding album. 'She will be wearing that dress for her funeral.'
Sarah, 35, died a week ago today, after falling into a coma. Her parents are in no doubt as to what killed her.
Since October last year, she had been regularly buying and using a legal substance called Ivory Wave. And although the coroner is yet to record his verdict, the Moyles lay the blame for her death firmly at the drug's door.
They insist the powerful powder-form legal drug, sold in £15, 500mg bags on the internet and over the counter in specialist herbal shops, destroyed Sarah's mental and physical health with terrifying speed.
They are convinced it caused severe swelling and irreparable damage to her brain and raised her heart rate to such a level that when she was taken off life-support it gave up under the strain.
Sarah first bought the drug ten months ago after she read on an online forum that it could help with weight loss.
Just two weeks ago, the drug – also known as Ivory Coast, Purple Wave or Vanilla Sky – was linked to the death of a young man in the Isle of Wight and in recent months has hospitalised dozens more.
Ivory Wave is marketed as bath salts or plant food and is labelled 'not for human consumption' to circumvent strict laws governing the supply of pharmaceuticals in Britain.
But the substance's true purpose is not a secret online, where news and reviews of readily available legal highs spread quickly on dedicated internet forums.
Drug experts and doctors are hugely concerned – they now believe the substance, which is either ingested orally or snorted, is potentially more dangerous than Meow Meow, the previously legal high which was banned in April after officials identified 26 cases where it may have been a contributing cause of death.
There is little or no information available about exactly how many people are taking Ivory Wave, how the drug is made or what it contains. The manufacturers do not publish a list of ingredients.
'I honestly don't think Sarah had a clue what she was getting herself into when she bought it,' says Margaret, 60. 'To my knowledge, she had never been a drug user.
'As far as I knew, she just wanted something to help her lose a few pounds and, stupidly perhaps, she got this stuff she'd seen on the internet.
'It got hold of her so quickly. She was in its grip.'
Within months of taking her first hit, their happy, healthy, newlywed daughter had become a paranoid, aggressive agoraphobic, insomniac. She dropped from a size 16 to a size six.
Soon, it was too late for their daughter – and Margaret and her husband Robin, a 65-year-old retired school caretaker, had no idea of the havoc that Ivory Wave was causing elsewhere in the country.
'When Sarah first fell into a coma even her doctors had never heard of the stuff,' says Margaret.
But that has changed now. Exactly a week before Sarah's death – as her parents and her husband Jim kept a hopeful vigil by her hospital bedside – the body of 24-year- old chef and regular Ivory Wave-user, Michael Bishton, was hauled out of the sea by fishermen off the coast of the Isle of Wight.
He is thought to have jumped or fallen from a clifftop on the east side of the island while high on Ivory Wave. He died from his injuries, rather than from the effects of the drug. But his was the first death to be linked to its use.
His mother and girlfriend both say he had become deeply disturbed since first taking the drug, suffering severe paranoia and hallucinations.
Meanwhile, A&E departments from Scotland to Dorset have reported a sudden surge of admissions suffering from the effects of Ivory Wave.
There were 20 recent A&E admissions in lothian, Scotland, and 12 in Cumbria, where several patients were suffering such acute and long-lasting paranoid psychosis after taking it that they had to be completely sedated before they could be treated.
The drug is also known to raise the heart rate and blood pressure to dangerous levels and cause kidney failure, seizures, muscle damage and loss of bowel control.
Every A&E department in England has now been sent an alert about it and the chief medical officers in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have issued similar warnings.
At home in Braintree, Essex, Margaret and Robin want some good to come from their terrible loss.
'This stuff comes with no warning, no ingredients list, no dosage advice,' says Margaret, who works as a school cleaner and exam invigilator.
'It's legal and it's advertised as all sorts of things, from plant food, to bath salts. The truth is, it's a dangerous drug. It destroyed our beautiful daughter.'
Looking at Sarah's wedding photographs is especially painful, because they know it was seeing these pictures that made her so determined to lose weight in the first place.
'Sarah had suffered from depression for a while and then, about three years ago, she was diagnosed with diabetes,' explains Margaret.
'The combination of anti-depressants and insulin made her put on weight and she felt very self-conscious.'
She describes Sarah as 'vulnerable' and says that as a teenager she had been anorexic for a time.
'Not being in control of her weight really troubled her. When she saw her wedding pictures she kept saying: "oh god, I look so fat." I said she looked beautiful in those pictures. She really did. But she wouldn't hear it.'
In October, Sarah told her parents and her husband Jim, a 46-year-old transport worker, that she was taking a diet aid that she'd bought online.
'She didn't think there was anything dodgy about it, so she was quite open with us about taking it at first. We thought it was legitimate and I think she did too.
'She went from a size 16 to a size six in about four months and, of course, she thought this was fabulous. She thought of it as her magic potion.
'I don't know if it suppressed her appetite or increased her metabolism – perhaps a bit of both. But the weight just fell off her.
'I was shocked at the sight of her when she was at her thinnest. I said: "Darling, you're too thin now. You're taking it too far. Stop." Then we realised that she'd become dependent on this stuff.'
At around the same time, Margaret realised that Sarah was not ingesting her 'slimming aid' but snorting it like cocaine.
'I was horrified and said: "It can't be natural if that's the way you're taking it. It sounds like drugs." She said: "No Mum, it's just the quickest way to get it into your system."
'We begged her to stop – her brother even said she was going to kill herself if she wasn't careful – but we couldn't watch her all the time. She was a grown woman and whenever we weren't there she bought the stuff with her credit card and took it.
'I asked her several times if she knew what was in it. She didn't seem too sure, but she said it was all totally legal and above board.

Wyoming Eagle Hunt Controversy Continues
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is evaluating whether the Northern Arapaho Tribe would need state permission to kill bald eagles outside the tribe's reservation.
Game Department Director Scott Talbott says he can't say how long it will take his agency to decide the issue.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service last month gave the Northern Arapaho the nation's first permit allowing the killing of bald eagles for religious purposes.
The permit specified the Arapaho must kill the eagles outside the Wind River Indian Reservation. The Arapaho share the reservation with the Eastern Shoshone, who oppose killing eagles there.
The Northern Arapaho Tribe filed a complaint last week calling the federal permit a sham because it limits killing to outside the reservation, where eagles generally are protected under state law.

Would I rate BA Business? Probably not. The crew were nice enough, but the food was average, especially when compared to Finnair just a few days before on a similar length flight. I did get my logbook signed, and a sticker!
Gatwick was a new experience for me, having always flown into Heathrow (and once into London City without our luggage). Ultimately, it felt very much the same as Heathrow, including the long lines at immigration. We caught the Gatwick Express to London Bridge station, before switching to the Jubilee Line to Canning Town and finally the DLR to Royal Victoria. What seemed like it would be a pain when researching actually turned out to be fairly easy.
The Crowne Plaza at Docklands had us for two nights, before we moved to the Intercontinental at The O2, just across the water. We both thought it was a nice hotel, but the glazing could have been just a little better considering the proximity to London City airport.
Every day we were in London we tried to see The Book of Mormon, through a 21-ticket lottery held 2 hours before the show. Unfortunately, this proved fruitless, but centred us firmly in the Soho area for most of the trip, leaving plenty more to explore next time. We did manage to catch one show, seeing The Phantom of The Opera, a favourite of mine.
Our first day actually ended up giving us the biggest walk around sights, with a trip to Trafalgar Square and the Indian Club for an authentic curry. That evening we walked (the wrong way) down Parliament St, ending up outside Downing Street and not much later Westminster and the Elizabeth Tower. It was nice to see it at night.
The following day we explored Buckingham Palace, well, from the outside at least. Dee-Anne got to experience the daily spectacle of Changing The Queen's Life Guard too, but my photos weren't very good considering the number of tourists there as well. She enjoyed Hamleys, and meeting the Queen (of Lego).
We love poké, as you might know, and discovered a great little restaurant that we wished we had in Australia.
I remember visiting the Cutty Sark when I was a child, and never realised it had such a big connection to Australia.
On Sunday we had lunch at Galvin – La Chapelle. The food was lovely and if I had been sticking around London a bit longer I would have loved to try the 5-course menu they were going to offer for the same price later in July.
Our last night was spent at an airport hotel, and quite by chance we chose to get off the tube at the second last stop and take a public bus instead of a shuttle bus from the airport itself. As we walked out the doors we discovered we were at the edge of the runway, and a steady stream of planes were landing.

Think slow is for slackers? I used to think so, too.
Slowing down and doing less are easier said than done, and they require a radical paradigm shift for most of us. To start, we have to distinguish our inner life from our outward productivity in order to create a lifestyle that sustains us rather than wears us out.
When I was thirty years old, I was a public relations director in a very stressful job. I fit the persona of an overachiever, and I loved the strokes that came with overachieving; I was addicted to having a superbusy mind, schedule, and life. I was also exhausted and frankly doubted I could sustain this pace (really, this level of mental activity — or insanity). Over time, my job, relationships, and well-being were all suffering from my speeded-up life.
So I began working with a great therapist named Frances — she was really a presence coach. Frances teaches clients how to slow down on the inside so that you can actually be more effective and wise in all areas of your life. For the longest time, I thought, "This will never work for me. She just doesn't understand my world. How can I slow down and still get things done?" Successfully juggling and anticipating solutions for ten different projects simultaneously was my hallmark! Slowly I integrated her coaching into my life, and I began to understand the connection between my inner state of being and how I see and respond to my outer world. As I cultivated more awareness for my inner world, it had a huge impact: I lived more in the present, slowed down my thinking, decreased anxiety, and improved my mood in large part by creating more space between my thoughts and my reactions. From stillness also came discernment: I began to see what really mattered to me, and my life purpose and path became clear.
My work with Frances during those years led directly to my work today. It informed the model for balanced living that I teach and try to live by. I have distilled this work into five balanced-living insights: practice "good is good enough," learn to manage your energy, ask for help, practice self-care, and become comfortable saying no. Integrating these five practices or skills into your life can have a profound impact, and they have helped my clients to reclaim their lives, so they are in the driver's seat.
Strategies and Insights for Balanced Living
1. Practice "good is good enough." Let go of expectations and the need to please — whether that's about housework, social events, exercise, volunteering, work, or kids' activities. This practice isn't about being lazy or lowering your standards; it's about accepting your best effort for a given task as good enough, so you can devote your time and energy to what matters most, in the moment and at your current life stage. Preparing for your son's fourth birthday party? Invite everyone who matters in his world and serve popcorn and popsicles in the park.
2. Learn to manage your energy. When you evaluate the tasks or activities before you, see them in terms of energy, not time. These are not the same, and learning to manage our energy is more important. Some people, situations, and things take more mental and emotional energy than others — such as lunch with a friend who just lost her mom — and we need to allow for this. We can first ask: What today (or in my life) is most important to me? What drains me? What fuels me? What do I need to release? This helps us set our priorities and direct our energy more purposefully and effectively.
3. Ask for help. This is a biggie, and it can be life changing for those of us who are predisposed to go it alone. But we're all interconnected, and miracles can happen when we allow support into our lives and learn to delegate. Asking for support might mean tapping a potential mentor for advice or asking your kids to help prepare dinner. Sometimes it's help for an actual task, and at other times it may be emotional support as you weather a crisis or challenge. Asking for support can make all the difference in how you experience your journey.
4. Practice self-care. Don't forget to add your own needs to your daily and weekly to-do lists. Ask: What do I need right now to support my physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being? Then, tune in, listen, and respond. Often, the kindest form of self-care is not overcommitting and overscheduling. Release self-criticism or judgment that you aren't doing enough, whether that's keeping the house clean or starting a new project at work; this is an essential way to nurture and be more kind to ourselves.
5. Become comfortable saying no. Are you comfortable saying no and not overcommitting? Saying no — to volunteer requests, extracurricular activities, an extra work project, unnecessary travel or trips — is one way we set limits and maintain boundaries. We will need to say no many times in our lives. However, most people find that the more they say no to things that are draining them or pulling them into overwork or overwhelm, the more space they have to say yes to those things that really matter — like reconnecting with your partner or dedicating time to getting your financial house in order. Also, saying no gracefully is a learned skill and it takes practice; there are many ways to do so. For instance, simple is often best; don't trot out a list of excuses. Either decline directly and politely ("No, thanks, I'll have to pass on that") or keep the reason simple ("My time is already committed"). You can also say yes in a limited way ("I can't do that, but I could do this...") or even ask for more time to decide ("Can I get back to you?"). If you're worried the other person will take the answer no as a personal rejection, clarify what you're declining ("I'd love to see you, but this day won't work for me"). For more on this, see the "Nine Creative Ways to Say No" list in my book The Mother's Guide to Self-Renewal.

$24.95 | 183pp
Joan Boxall and her brother Steve Corcoran grew up together in Vancouver. Joan went on to train as a teacher, marry and pursue her career. Steve briefly studied art and tried to emulate the satirical genius of Mad Magazine, hanging out on the edges of the city's emerging counter culture. However, his life soon spiralled out of control and he was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic.
Joan and Steve drifted apart over the years. Drawbridge is the story of how they reconnected in the last years of Steve's life, largely through sharing the process of learning how to make art together.
Like the collages that Boxall describes, her book is an artfully arranged pattern of layered elements — her memories of family life, her years of puzzled estrangement from her brother, and the alchemical process of making art that allowed the siblings to come to a kind of mutual regard.
You do not need to be an uncritical supporter of medical model psychiatry to find this memoir powerful. Whether or not you share some of this reviewer's skepticism about the medical model, Boxall's narrative will move you and make you reflect on issues of love, intimacy and loss in your own family. (It is helpful in this regard to recall the brilliant headline that appeared in an early edition of the newspaper of the Vancouver Mental Patients' Association — The Myth of Mental Illness and the Reality of Feeling Horrible.)
This is the author's first book, but she is an accomplished magazine journalist, and the quality of her prose reflects that experience. She is not tempted to flatten the painful realities of her brother's life with pity or romance. She tries valiantly to tell the truth in all its complexity, and provides memorable portrait of the brother she lost and then found again, as well as unsparing snapshots of the uncomfortable family dynamics among her and her other siblings as they try to cope with Steve's hoarding, squalid living conditions and often erratic communication style.
This is a love story for adults, without any simple resolution or cheap redemption. It is illustrated with beautiful colour plates of Steve Corcoran's art. Boxall's text is a valuable complement to the artwork.
This book is a loving tribute to Steve Corcoran, as is the memorial award in his name established by his sister at the Emily Carr University of Art+Design.

Why Chabots 3.x?
Artificial intelligence chat bots, also known as chatterbots or conversational agents, developed in a series of three stages over the past 60 years.
The First Wave
Alan Turing conceived of the talking computer in his 1950 paper, Computing Machinery and Intelligence. For his famous test, Turing imagined an artificial intelligence that communicates in natural language through a text based medium, such as a teletype.
In 1966 MIT Professor Joseph Weizenbaum became the first botmaster, or chat bot author, when he created the famous ELIZA prorgam. ELIZA was the first A.I. to apply the concept of stimulus-response pattern recognition to natural language understanding. ELIZA was also the first bot to employ conversational logging as a means for the botmaster to review and refine the bot.
Dr. Hugh Loebner began sponsoring the first real-world Turing Test in 1991. To the surpise of many, the winner of the first contest was based on the ELIZA psychiatrist program.
In 1994, Michael Mauldin created a bot named Julia in an online MUD environment. He coined the term "chatterbot" to describe his conversational programs.
The Second Wave
The advent of the world wide web marked the beginning of widespreaed access to chatterbots. By exposing their bots on the web, botmasters collected a huge amount of conversational log data to help them improve the quality of the bots. Better and faster computers led to the development of large knowledge bases for bots.
Dr. Richard Wallace launched the free software ALICE project in 1995. ALICE led to the development of the open AIML standard for creating chat bots. An alphabet soup of AIML interpreters and servers appeared.
The first commercial chat bot companies, Neuromedia and Virtual Personalities, were launched in the heady early days of the dot-com boom.
In the late 90's, two prominent web sites emerged to provide to index and promote chat bot projects and companies. These were the Simon Laven page, and Marcus Zillman's Botspot.com.
The Third Wave
Today chatterbots have been adapted to nearly every ecological niche on the internet. Bots appear on web pages, in instant messaging, and respond to email and forum posts. They can be found in Second Life, in online games, and in social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Bots support marketing and advertising and are used in education.
New technologies for automated learning have appeared which vastly reduce the time and effort needed to create convincing bots. At the same time, a series of new commercial opportunities have opened for bots and their botmasters.
We're experiencing the beginning of a new era. The time has come to gather together the leading experts in chat bot technology to share our ideas and discoveries.
Chatbots 3.0 and 3.1
Last year's Chatbots 3.1 conference and the Chatbots 3.0 conference in 2009 were huge successes. We had about 25 attendees each year around a dozen high quality presentations. The presentations were recorded and published on the Youtube aimlinstructor channel, where they have been watched by a worldwide audience.
The conference will be held in a first class facility on the 32nd floor in downtown Philadelphia, close to City Hall. Beverage service will be provided including coffee, tea, soda, juice and water. Free wifi is available.

When it comes to drugstore brands, I'm a bit of a Revlon fan girl. I'm particularly fond of their lipsticks, which come in a bajillion (give or take a few) shades and finishes. I'm a lipstick girl for more than one reason, but mostly, I love that it can change your look in just one step! Since becoming a CVS Beauty Board member, I've probably been spending a little too much time in their makeup aisle. I only recommend products I actually use and stand by, so naturally I have to try everything out. I've found a slew of new favorites (and a couple of misses, which I promptly returned) in the Revlon lipstick section alone, which I have showcased in the pictures above.
Isn't it crazy how just one swipe of lipstick can completely change your look? I'm wearing the same face and eye makeup in each (though the lighting is different in a few). What's your favorite lipstick of the moment?

Fanart Friday and more!
I have some lovely new fan creations to show off this week.
First is a ghost wizard by Alex Sarunac.
Next up, a crossover comic by Jim Cleaveland.
And finally… DR. MCNINJA LEGOS, by RJ Prentice.
Thanks, dudes!
Moving on, you remember my dog, Commissioner James Gordon, yes? (Photo by GBIV)
Well it seems he has inspired a band/evil twin, Commissioner JAMS Gordon! You should check out the jams. They're good jams.
Benito Cereno (who you might know is the fellow I entrust to write book exclusive Dr. McNinja tales) has a new comic series out in stores now, and it is AWESOME.
GUARDING THE GLOBE (click for preview) has some sweet as hell looking action, super funny dialogue, and some of my favorite new characters in comics. Plus it's in the Invincible universe, and man oh man do I love Invincible. Stop by your local comic shop, or get it for your ipad or something.
Finally, I would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who bought Machine of Death this week, particularly on Tuesday.
You made Machine of Death the NUMBER ONE AMAZON BEST SELLER, and while has dropped in rank since it's debut day, it's still on the top list. I'm really proud to have contributed to the book, and moments like this make me truly grateful to be a creator in the age of the internet.
- Christopher
PS: While the new Dr. McNinja book won't be out until spring… I have got some really fun new merchandise coming out over the course of the next month. I'm not talking prints or t-shirts either (Okay one of the four things is a shirt). Stay tuned.
PPS: Thanks for being cool about us missing two updates this month! I had a lot of non-comic work, plus I'm still getting used to inking. I appreciate not getting emails with the subject line "WHERE'S THE PAGE YOU LAZY TURD MAN"

From 1985 to 1994, the rates at which 14- to 17-year-old males committed murder doubled for whites and tripled for blacks. Juveniles carried out about 137,000 more violent crimes in 1994 than they had in 1985. A 1996 report issued by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), "Combating Violence and Delinquency," warned that "juvenile arrest rates for violent crimes will more than double by the year 2010."

An occasional look at political claims that take shortcuts with the facts or don't tell the full story
Vice President Joe Biden has mangled a heaping helping of facts over the years. Despite being newer to presidential-campaign politics, Republican Paul Ryan has already earned something of a reputation for taking flying leaps past reality.
How'd they do Thursday night?
Here's a look at some of their claims:
BIDEN, on whether U.S. should have beefed up security at the U.S. Consulate in Libya before the deadly terrorist attack there: "We weren't told they wanted more security there."
RYAN: "There were requests for more security."
THE FACTS: Ryan is right, judging by testimony from Obama administration officials at a congressional hearing this week.
Charlene R. Lamb, a deputy assistant secretary for diplomatic security, told lawmakers she refused requests for more security in Benghazi, saying the department wanted to train Libyans to protect the consulate. "Yes, sir, I said personally I would not support it," she said.
Eric Nordstrom, who was the top security official in Libya earlier this year, testified he was criticized for seeking more security. He said conversations he had with people in Washington led him to believe that it was "abundantly clear we were not going to get resources until the aftermath of an incident. How thin does the ice have to get before someone falls through?"
RYAN: "We should have spoken out right away when the green revolution was up and starting, when the mullahs in Iran were attacking their people. We should not have called Bashar Assad a reformer when he was turning his Russian-provided guns on his own people.
THE FACTS: Neither President Barack Obama nor anyone else in his administration ever considered the Syrian leader a "reformer." The oft-repeated charge stems from an interview Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton gave in March 2011 noting that "many of the members of Congress of both parties who have gone to Syria in recent months have said they believe he's a reformer." She did not endorse that view. The comment was widely perceived to be a knock at senators such as John Kerry of Massachusetts who maintained cordial relations with Assad in the months leading up to his crackdown on protesters.
BIDEN: "We went out and rescued General Motors."
THE FACTS: Actually, the auto bailout of General Motors and Chrysler began under President George W. Bush. The Obama administration continued and expanded it.
RYAN: "And then they put this new Obamacare board in charge of cutting Medicare each and every year in ways that will lead to denied care for current seniors. This board, by the way, it's 15 people, the president's supposed to appoint them next year. And not one of them even has to have medical training."
THE FACTS: Ryan is referring to the Independent Payment Advisory Board, created under President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law. It has the power to force cuts in Medicare payments to service providers if costs rise above certain levels and Congress fails to act. But it doesn't look like the board will be cutting Medicare "each and every year," as Ryan asserts. Medicare costs are currently rising modestly and the government's own experts project the board's intervention will not be needed until 2018 and 2019 at the earliest — after Obama leaves office if re-elected to a second term.
BIDEN, when asked who would pay more taxes in Obama's second term: "People making a million dollars or more."
THE FACTS: Obama's proposed tax increase reaches farther down the income ladder than millionaires. He wants to roll back Bush-era tax cuts for individuals making over $200,000 and couples making more than $250,000.
RYAN: "We cannot allow Iran to gain a nuclear weapons capability. Now, let's take a look at where we've gone — come from. When Barack Obama was elected, they had enough fissile material — nuclear material — to make one bomb. Now they have enough for five. They're racing toward a nuclear weapon. They're four years closer toward a nuclear weapons capability."
THE FACTS: Ryan's claim is misleading. Iran isn't believed to have produced any of the highly enriched uranium needed to produce even one nuclear weapon, let alone five. That point isn't even disputed by Israel, whose Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu implored the world at the United Nations last month to create a "red line" at enrichment above 20 percent. Iran would have to enrich uranium at much higher levels to produce a weapon. There is intelligence suggesting that Iran has worked on weapon designs, but not that it has developed a delivery system for any potential nuclear warhead.
BIDEN: "What we did is, we saved $716 billion and put it back, applied it to Medicare."
THE FACTS: Contrary to Biden's assertion, not all the money cut from Medicare is going back into the program in some other way. The administration is cutting $716 billion over 10 years in Medicare payments to providers and using some of the money to improve benefits under the program. But most of the money is being used to expand health care coverage outside of Medicare.

Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services announced Tuesday a suite of offerings designed to help its RIAs address the issues of growth, and succession planning, through mergers or acquisitions of other advisory firms.
David Canter (left), the Fidelity IWS executive VP who heads Fidelity's advisor practice management efforts, said the new offerings—which include discounted access to outside M&A consultants and discounted financing through Live Oak Bank—are part of a "suite of components we've been building up over the past four years."
Those components, he said, include insights and education from Fidelity and advisory firms who have been through a merger or acquisition; access to experts, such as the M&A consultants; matchmaking between firms that might be interested in some kind of business arrangement with each other; and now access to financing.
"What I've seen is that advisors want to grow through acquisition, but they don't have the knowledge" of how to do so, Canter said. He also pointed out that there's a "big bid-ask spread" between what prospective sellers think their firms are worth and what buyers are actually willing to pay for those firms. That is why Fidelity IWS is "trying to supplying all the building blocks" to help with transactions that can take much time and are fraught with emotion, not to mention differing, complex deal structures.
"When we think about M&A and business combinations in general, we try and offer up real-life insights and education to help firms get started," says Canter. Then, "if they're really serious" and want to proceed, they can talk to advisor M&A consultants such as David Selig of Advice Dynamics, Frank Kettle of Colchester, Dave DeVoe of DeVoe and Co., and Paul Lally of Gladstone, outside consultants "who can help them evaluate their options."
Live Oak, he said, not only "couldn't be more excited" about their participation, but since it is a community bank focused on lending to small and midsize businesses, the bankers "understand professional services" firms like advisory firms, understand the revenue stream those firms generate, and are resident in their communities.
"They're committed to the advisor business," said Canter, and will "lend to our clients with a high level of service, with a differentiated service model, and provide discounted pricing."
Live Oak, Canter said, "is not your father's bank, but is your grandfather's bank"—that is, committed to the local community. In addition to providing loans for mergers and acquisitions, Live Oak Bank will also offer loans for internal succession plans and for breakaway brokers. Live Oak's founder, chairman and CEO, Internet bank pioneer James "Chip" Mahan, and his team are "country gentlemen," Canter said.
Fidelity, says Canter, doesn't receive a fee from Live Oak for any loans made to advisors.

My Top 3 Priorities
- No one left behind, jobs and housing for everyone. We already spend a trillion a year.for the poor including medicade, and medicare. That would pay for 20 million new jobs. This would rain down a trillion dollars a year into the American economy
- Medical and Dental for everyone The affordable care act (Obamacare) was never designed to cover everyone. At best 12% of the population will not be covered. We need a medical and dental clinic at every hospital.
- Put everyone to work cleaning the environment and restoring our roads, bridges and waterways.
Arthur Harris is an industrialist entrepreneur working in many different fields including real estate development, transportation device production, biofuel production, financial planning and research and development.
He drifted from job to job until he landed the position as an insurance agent for National Life insurance company. then Lone Star life insurance company. he struggled year after year trying to bring in enough money to support his little family. With the help of his church they survived but continued to struggle until he decided to go back to school. He started to study television and radio at Pasadena City College then electrical engineering technology at DeVry University in the City of Industry, California. Going to school all day and working as a Titan for the Teamsters all night he suffered trying to bring his family through the darkest part of his life to his near complete exhaustion.
He seemed to have a talent for this, electronics. He stopped working as a Teamster and started working as an engineering technician at Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He designed many of the test systems that are still in use today. As is the tradition at Jet Propulsion Laboratory his name is on several of the spacecraft traveling throughout the cosmos.
In 1995 he divorced his wife of 15 years due to irreconcilable differences and started a new job at Cellular Phone Repair services. He moved up the chain of command and became the general manager of technical services. Trained by all the cellular phone companies at the time by 1999 he became an authority in the cellular industry.
During his tenure at CPR he started tinkering with an old BD-5 aluminum airplane chassis and a 450 Honda motorcycle motor in his first "I" car prototype tearing up the desert. In what he would later call the I car he narrowly escaped with minor burns as it bursts into flames in the Mojave desert
In 1998 he married his second wife Robin Smyth where difficulties arose from his teenage boy and his substance abuse that caused the marriage to last about three months They remain good friends to this day.
In the year 2000 he left CPR services and went into business for himself. Working as an insurance producer, and a cellular broker he sold thousands of cellular phones throughout the world.

He continued working as an insurance agent and a research scientist for several years where in 2013 he started in his real estate business.He competed in the reusable space craft competition for NASA submitting a design for a Space Elevator. Because there were no materials that could be used for a 60000 mile counter weight he developed a way to create one meter and longer carbon nano tubes. . He started a bio-fuel company to use bio-Diesel

- Creating Jobs- by reducing and enforcing regulations holistically; taking into consideration the differences between small businesses, big businesses, rural, and industrial.
- Improving Education- increasing the proficiency rates in math and English in public schools by allowing parents and students to chose their preferred schools and encouraging more charter schools.
- Strong Military- by stopping current downsizing and changing perception that military is a political bargaining chip. American public should always trust that we will support our current, past, and future troops without making it a political issue.

Alex Smith threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Delanie Walker late in the third quarter, and San Francisco held off the Seattle Seahawks 13-6 on Thursday night as the 49ers won their long-awaited division opener.
Frank Gore ran for 116 yards, and the 49ers (5-2) took over sole possession of first place in the NFC West by making just enough plays to win this defense-first game, featuring two teams allowing fewer than 16 points per game.
Walker's score was San Francisco's first touchdown in seven quarters after an embarrassing 26-3 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday in a lopsided rematch of last season's NFC Championship Game.
Smith went 14-of-23 passing for 140 yards in another subpar performance.
NFC rushing leader Marshawn Lynch finished with 103 yards for Seattle (4-3).

Our father among the saints, Sigfrid of Växjö or Sigfried of Sweden or Sigefrid of Wexiow or (also Sigefrid, Sigfried, Siegfrid, Siegfried, Sigfridus, Sigurd), Second Apostle of the North (d. 1045) was a Benedictine monk and bishop of Växjö, Sweden. His feast day is February 15.
Sigfrid is said to have been born in Glastonbury, England in the second half of the 10th century. It is said that St. Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, converted him to the Christian faith. Sigfrid was an eminent priest in York who was sent by the legendary King Mildred to assist in the Christianization of Scandanavia. It is theorized that this could have been King Æthelred II the Unready.
At the behest of Olaf I Tryggvason, Sigfrid arrived in Norway in 995 with his three nephews who were Cluniac monks: Unaman the priest, Sunaman the deacon, and Winaman the subdeacon. There he became a court bishop for the Norwegian King. Due to the Battle of Svolder of 999-1000, Sigfrid and his nephews left for Sweden in 1002 where they founded three churches in Västergötland (West Gothland). This area was already being Christianized by the bishop Odinkar Hvite the Elder, who was based in Skara. Thus Sigfrid and his nephews went east to the region of Värend in Småland to continue their missionary efforts, erecting first a cross and then building a wooden church on the shores of Växjö Lake.
Soon, twelve prominent men of the area were soon brought to the Christian faith and baptized in a spring near the mountain Ostrabo. Their influence began a steady stream of pilgrims, who flocked to hear the Word of God and gaze upon Sigfrid's silken vestments, gold and silver vessels, and other beautiful objects brought with him from England. In 1008, Sigfrid baptized King Olof Skötkonung in a spring near the village of Husaby. Olof Skötkonung became the first Christian King of Sweden, which marked the beginning of the Christianization of Sweden. Sigfrid next traveled north to re-establish the See of Upsala that had been founded by St. Ansgar, but the reversion to paganism was too strong in the region and he left in failure. In 1014, Olof Skötkonung assisted Sigfrid in the establishment of the Diocese of Skara, which became a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Hamburg-Bremen. The first diocesan bishop, a German named Thurgaut, was consecrated by Sigrid. At this time, the diocese was comprised of "the Goth lands" Västergötland and Östergötland (East Gothland), some of Småland, and also a chunk of other surrounding counties. Sigfrid is said to have consecrated a vicar bishop for the eastern half of the diocese in the city of Linköping in Östergötland.
Entrusting the administration of Växjö to Unaman and his brothers, Sigfrid left to spread Christianity in Denmark. While he was gone, however, a local greedy nobleman Gunnar Gröpe gathered a group of pagans together to kill Sigfrid's brothers and ransack the church in Växjö. When Sigfrid returned from his mission, he found his nephews' heads in a weighed tub that was at the bottom of Lake Helgasjön near the church. The bodies were buried deep inside a forest. According to Sigfrid, the heads still possessed the ability to speak and told him the names of their murderers. Sigfrid glorified God that He allowed Unaman, Sunaman, and Winaman to become martyrs. Soon Olof Skötkonung heard of the occurrence in Växjö and offered to execute the perpetrators, which Sigfrid refused. The King also offered to extract from them weregild, which the saint also refused. This made even the laying of foundation extremely difficult for the destitute bishop, but he eventually rebuilt the church and placed inside of it the relics of his holy kin.
Sigfrid visited Bremen in 1030 and reposed in the Lord in 1045. His relics were placed below the high altar of the Växjö church and performed many miracles until the shrine was dismantled after the Swedish Reformation.
York Episcopate
Some sources claim Sigfrid to have first been the Archbishop of York before being sent to Scandinavia. Although no list of Archbishops of York seems to verify this, after the death of St. Oswald of Worcester, there is a period of vacancy between 992-995. The separate dioceses of York and Worcester had been held by a single bishop from 971-992, and again from 995-1042. After St. Oswald's death, Ealdwulf was consecrated Bishop of Worcester in 992, but appointed also Archbishop of York only in 995. This brief three-year period could have been a result of Sigfrid's ascendancy. However, since no record shows an Archbishop Sigfrid around this time, he may well have simply been a temporary administrator for the see. Another possibility is simply that he was consecrated a bishop for Norway while still in York. However, the fact that Sigfrid arrived in Norway the same year that Ealdwulf became Archbishop of York proves a curious fact.

Teacher faces reprimand for saying 'vagina' in biology class
Science teacher accused of promoting political agenda
An Idaho teacher was placed under investigation after parents complained about the terminology he used during a biology lesson on reproduction.
The state's professional standards commission is investigating teacher Tim McDaniel after several parents filed complaints about his teaching methods, reported the Twin Falls Times-News.
The teacher told the newspaper that four parents were offended by his explanation of an orgasm and his use of the word "vagina" during a lesson on human reproduction during a 10th-grade biology class.
The state's paperwork also shows that parents complained that he inappropriately shared confidential student files, told inappropriate jokes in class, taught about different forms of birth control and showed a video clip depicting a genital herpes infection.
McDaniel said he teaches directly from the textbook and doesn't mention anything that's not discussed in those approved classroom materials, and he told the newspaper that he gives every student the option to opt out of those classes on the reproduction system.
The teacher told the newspaper that the state was also investigating a complaint accusing him of promoting a political candidate in class, which he said was because he showed the climate change film "An Inconvenient Truth" in his science class.
McDaniel told the newspaper that he asks students to write a paper afterward asking them to explain what they believe about climate change.
The school's superintendent said McDaniel would not likely lose his job over the complaints, but he could be asked to sign a letter of reprimand.
But the teacher said he told school officials he wouldn't sign the letter because he believes he's done nothing wrong.

The Curator reviews each item presented for possible donation to the collection. If an item meets with our collecting priorities, you will be asked to bring the item to the Museum. Each item is assessed and must ultimately meet the approval of our Acquisitions Committee and Board of Trustees. An independent appraisal is conducted to assess the value of the piece. A Deed of Gift is issued and returned to the museum by mail. Shortly afterwards a tax receipt is issued for the value of the item (from the City of Markham). This process can take several months.
What Markham Museum collects: The Museum began collecting in the late 1960s and has amassed a collection of more than 75,000 items, including objects, photographs and archival documents of virtually every aspect of our local history. Due to the size of the existing collection, we are no longer in a position to accept every item we are offered. In general, we collect historical documents and photographs related to individuals, families, business and government in Markham as well as objects both large and small that document our settlement history as well and our changing technology and environment. To be considered for the collection, objects must be in good condition and should have a history of use in the local community.
Please contact the Curator at firstname.lastname@example.com to enquire about donating.

Bringing the total number of members in the Hall of Fame to 273 are cornerback Jack Butler, center Dermontti Dawson, defensive end/linebacker Chris Doleman, defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy, running back Curtis Martin, and tackle Willie Roaf. Today's annual selection meeting was held in Indianapolis, site of Super Bowl XLVI. The newest members of the Hall of Fame were selected from a list of 17 finalists who had been determined earlier by the Selection Committee. Butler, a member of the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1950s, intercepted 52 passes, four of which he returned for scores, in his nine-season career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dawson, a member of the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1990s, was named to the Pro Bowl seven straight seasons and was an All-Pro selection six consecutive years. The NFL Alumni's Offensive Lineman of the Year in 1996, Dawson played in 184 career games for the Steelers. Doleman racked up 150.5 career sacks in his 15-season career which ranked fourth all-time when he retired. He had 10 or more sacks in a season eight times. Kennedy, the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 1992, earned eight Pro Bowl berths and was named first-team All-Pro three straight seasons. He was also named to the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1990s. Martin rushed for 1,000 yards in each of his first 10 NFL seasons. He retired as the game's fourth all-time leading rusher with 14,101 yards and had 90 rushing touchdowns. Roaf, a seven-time, first-team All-NFL choice, starred for nine seasons with the New Orleans Saints and four years with the Kansas City Chiefs. In all, he played in 189 career games and was voted to 11 Pro Bowls. The 2012 class will be formally enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, Aug. 4, 2012.

|Online MIPT programming contest
|<PREV Problem:
Time limit = 2 second(s)You've become a high quality IT specialist and you are earning a lot. You are receiving job offers from a lot of serious companies. You can participate in many big projects. You've also got some interesting ideas: to practice yoga, to visit Australia, Goa, Cuba, Iceland and Algeria, to sale your yacht in Mediterranean Sea. You also need to pass driver exam, study Japanese, graduate your Institue and so on.
Right now you've completely understand that you need exact Time Management. It's very good that this understanding came now and not after 20 or 50 years.
First, you need to effectively set your time on each task, to analyze that data and to come up with the most efficient schedule.
So you've put down all your planes for the next 50 years, divided them into small separate tasks (those tasks which take less that 20 minutes are not on scedule) and for each of them you've also set a time frame. This frame could be shifted forward or backward, but no more than 10 minutes.
You are ready to advance to next task as soon as you finish previous one (don't worry there also tasks like sleeping, eating, watching a movie).
Unfortunately, some task are overlapping.
But don't get upset! You are to write a program (you've decided to spend 30 minutes on that starting now), which can choose maximum number of non-overlapping tasks. After that you only need to follow that plan.
First line contains number of tasks N, 1 < N < 50001. Each of next N lines contains two integer numbers from [0, 2000000000] --- beginning and ending of time frame (those are represented in minutes from some fixed moment in time).
First line should contain integer nubmer K maximum number of non-overlapping tasks. Next K lines should contain description of K chosen tasks. In each line: identifier of a task and shift of that task (integer nubmer from [-10,10]).
